WHY SHOULD WE CARE – Why should we care about tomorrow? Why should we fear global warming or an economic crisis? Why should we worry about the situation in the Middle East or human rights?

These are the questions asked on Why Should We Care, which is released in October 2012. SCREED‘s full length debut after the band‘s four-year existence. Hard guitar riffs meet strong melodies, polyphonic singing powered by fast drum beats. Californian style Punkrock, made popular by bands like Pennywise or NOFX. This is SCREED as you know them.

Having released two EPs already, SCREED appear more matured on their first longplayer Why Should We Care – not only regarding the arrangements of the compositions but also their lyrics. The 14-track album‘s got it all: soulful ballads as well as angry, some times cynical, sociocritical songs. Songs with which SCREED will find their way into the hearts of Punkrock fans.

Punkrock has to be experienced live in the first place and so SCREED are on the road quite often. Thanks to a lot of shows in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland they have already made a name for themselves. They frequently get the chance to share stage with internationally known bands like Lagwagon, Useless ID and No Use For A Name.

Flo, Stocki, Benni and Mark meet in June 2008. Soon they know the chemistry is right – first songs come up and SCREED is formed. They already play their first gig in Munich’s underground club ‘Sunny Red’ in December 2008.

In the beginning of 2009 other gigs follow and the band record their first EP “Indiscreed”. Due to its release they play more shows and even support the Swedish band Nemas at several shows in Germany and Austria at the end of the year.

Encouraged by the successful previous year 2010 starts with a self-organized tour. In April the band hits the studio again to record the EP “Day By Day”. It is finished in the end of May and is put onto the band’s website as a free download. “Day By Day” with it’s five diversified songs with catchy melodies gets positive feedback throughout the scene. After a successful festival summer in and around Munich the guys start their first tour through the Czech Republic and Poland in fall.

Due to examination stress and angry bosses, 2011 starts unintentionally quiet. First priority is songwriting. Based on numerous festival shows the cornerstone for support shows for Punkrock legends like No Use For A Name, The Adicts and The Meteors is set.

2012 starts with pre-production and studio recordings. In April, after an intensive time of preparation, SCREED begin to record 14 songs for their debut album Why Should We Care. This varied album marks a new highlight in the band‘s young history. With this powerful production SCREED take a stand and show that there are plenty of reasons to think about the world of tomorrow.
